Hi everyone, for my Design Team post at Cherish The
Memory I am using the gorgeous Lemoncraft Papers they are now stocking along
with a super range of their embellishments and ephemera which I will be giving
inspiration with on my cards and projects over the coming months.

On this card I started by tattering strips of paper and
inked them at the edges, mounting onto another tattered layer.

I layered on a Cheery Lynn Doily and a fussy cut Doily
from the Ephemera Sheet which also included the watch, Butterflies and sweet
little girl.

This was all mounted onto my tattered bill from the
Ephemera pack, finishing off with a Shabby Ribbon and pretty Die cut flower.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and do checkout
Cherish The Memory Etsy Shop to see their full range of Lemoncraft products.

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am
sharing some inspiration using one of their fabulous Mega Doilies. These Dies are
fantastic for scrapbooking with but look equally as good using as accents on
cards for a WOW factor and cut beautifully.

My card today measures approximately 8 x 6 inches and the
border strip on my card is just over 2 inches. I mounted the same colour of
cardstock to the inside and on my border strip which gives contrast and helps my Doily pop.

I cut into my paper using my heart Die. You can also
use the heart border edge die to cut it out of the paper should you wish.

My flowers were shaped on my Embossing mat and shaded
with Distress ink. I used small Pom Pom balls in the centres of my flowers
which I coloured with Alcohol Ink to get my desired shade.

My sentiment was stamped onto my diecut adding a cherub
which I made from a mould and paper clay.

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by today and apologies
for falling so far behind with your lovely blogs but I have not been well at
all recently. Craft Consortium recently launched a new collection of MDF
products along with glue and brushes to compliment their wonderful range of
Decoupage Papers. You may have tuned into Create and Craft last week and
noticed them being showcased.

My letter rack has been covered in the sheets of Vintage Postcards Decoupage paper, gluing in place and
adding a top coat of glue. I didn't add Gesso to my MDF before adding the paper
as I wanted to keep the muted tones. It also makes great craft storage as well as a letter rack.

Once dry I sanded my edges to give a crisp edge. I also added some gold Embossing Powder around the edges to add a Vintage feel.

I added a layer of felt onto the base.

My butterflies were fussy cut from another Decoupage
Paper and glued in place adding Rhinestones into the centres for a finishing
touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I do hope I am able to
catch up with all your blogs shortly. Also a big thank you to my darling husband
who does my photography and putting my blog posts up for me. I really don't
know what I would do without his help.

Hi Everyone, this last week
in Scotland has been very cold and we have had a lot of snow and frost.
Thinking of warmer days I decided to create a Birthday card for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their latest Pop-Up Dies - Celebrate, along with spring coloured cardstock.

I shadowed layered my word Celebrate 3 times to make it
pop and incorporate the colours on my card design and flowers.

My flowers were all cut out in white cardstock and shaded
in the centres with some ink. Next I shaped the petals on my Embossing mat and
added Flowersoft into the centres. The smaller flowers I bunched a few together
in places and added single ones too for extra detail and interest.

Hi everyone, today at Cheery Lynn Designs we are all
excited to be launching the first new range of Dies for 2018, a selection of 3D Pop Up Dies.

For my Card Wallet I used 2 of the new designs on my
card. There is a fabulous selection of these Dies so why not join in our Blog Hop and
you could be in with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree at Cheery Lynn
Designs.

I started with the inside of my card placing my new Pop
Up Dies on an A4 piece of card and cut out on my A4 Die Cutting machine. These Dies also fit on smaller machines but for this design I needed to use my larger machine
for it.

Next I glued onto a layer of patterned paper which had
also been tattered and inked at the edges. I added a Ribbon to my card to tie
it in place and a selection of diecut flowers were added onto my design.

My 3D pop up card can also be displayed like a normal card as seen in this image.
